Anyone who isn't watching this Bowdoin-Tufts game should be. Tufts up 1-0, but has hit the crossbar as well at 1-0. Bowdoin has had a PK saved and a shot cleared off the line. The only damper is the (I'm assuming) Tufts mother who has a really obnoxious and repetitive cheer that resembles an annoying bird.

I see that Tufts rested a couple of starters also.......

Oh, I have to say that The announcer is one of the better ones....

Great game in Brunswick so far. About ten minutes in, Bowdoin's Charlier is put through alone on goal and makes a move to beat Greenwood, but doesn't put enough on it as its heading for goal and is cleared off the line by a Tufts defender.

A great free kick from Tufts Pinherio form 30 yards out causes trouble in the box, and D Sam Williams scissor kicks a bouncing ball (it was INCREDIBLY acrobatic) that strikes the cross bar and falls right onto the head of Kyle Volpe who puts it away to put Tufts up 1-0.

With about ten minutes left, a shot from Bowdoin hits a Tufts defender in the arm as he's sliding to block it- it seemed a bit controversial as I think it would've hit the defender's body anyway- and a PK is given. The shooter goes up the middle, and although Greenwood guesses to his left, he stretches his feet out to just barely make a phenomenal save as the ball goes over the bar and out.

Overall, Tufts has dominated possession. Their midfield plays beautiful soccer, but has fallen asleep at times today and has let Bowdoin get in their fair share of chances. Also, Kayne is out with a foot injury, but should be back by Saturday, according to the announcer. Might be just a  precaution to sit him out.

Agreed. I'm talking about a background noise that I keep hearing that I heard at Saturday's game as well.

Tufts just scored again on a laser by a sub.  I didn't recognize the name.  Yes, Patel and Kayne did not start.  Kayne is usually the attacking center mid and his sub scored the first goal. Maybe that is why you noticed the lack of aggressiveness....

And no sooner did I post than a beauty is scored by youngster Gaston Bucherano for Tufts. Bucherano receives the ball on the left side and cuts towards the middle, finding a teammate (couldn't see who it was) who combines for a silky give and go, receiving it back at the top of the 18. He beats two defenders by himself and rifles a dipping shot from the 18 that bounces off the near post and in.

2-0 Tufts

Too funny. When we had to listen to her for the entire game a few weeks ago, my wife said"please tell me she is the parent of a senior." :-)

Beautiful Bowdoin header goal by Nick DiStefano.... 2-1 Tufts....

After listening to it for 4 years and making sure to sit several sections away each game, I can confirm it is the parent of a senior.

2-2 all of a sudden. Great response from Bowdoin this half. Tufts did just hit the post as well in an attempt to regain the lead. Back and forth game now.

Note, that Tufts has several subs in the game.......

Guess I shouldn't have gotten up to use the bathroom.

Here's your lowlight of the game.  Should have been a red card and a potential game winning PK for Bowdoin.

Wow, wonder if he connected?  Anyway, Tufts brought back some starters and seemed to dominate possession in the first overtime.  Let's see what happens...

2-2 final.....

That was a horrendous play..Was that Hoppenot? He is known for losing his composure sometimes and you are correct that should have an immediate red card..Linesman was staring right at it
